Giuseppe Leida Associati
We design space and objects starting from materials, light, sound, proportions, and connections. Research, innovation, and excellent collaborations are part of our open and inclusive studio culture, which is attentive to the impact of projects on the environment and the well-being of people. In recent years, the most important research themes have focused on retail, new housing models, new materials, and AI in the design process. Giuseppe Leida (Milan, 1974) founded GLA Giuseppe Leida Associati shortly after graduating in Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 2001. It has now become an architecture firm with a strong multidisciplinary culture, focused on projects that prioritize the quality of built spaces, environmental sustainability, and the well-being of people, without neglecting the formal aspects that strive for simplicity and essentiality. The 2015 project for Panino Giusto’s headquarters was nominated for the Gold Medal of Italian Architecture. The studio’s passion and expertise in design have led to the creation and production of several collectible pieces. In 2018, Giuseppe Leida founded SUPERNORMAL Studio, a collaborative group where architects, designers, and graphic artists work with a particular focus on retail design. Driven by a passion for research and dissemination, Giuseppe regularly serves as a scientific speaker, addressing topics related to retail and the use of more sustainable materials in architecture and design.
